Intermittent declines when card type reads as generic "CREDIT"
Last updated: June 24, 2026
Symptoms
- CREDIT
Solution
Some taps initially resolve the card type as generic CREDIT instead of a branded type (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), which can cause a decline. Retry after a moment. If the issue persists, report it to support with the card type — do not include the full PAN.
